Yoshimura Suzuki’s Brett Metcalfe will continue to work on his form in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series after a frustrating run to date in 2012.

Although the Australian admitted he was a little underwhelmed by his performance at Anaheim II on Saturday night, Metcalfe charged to a nine place finish in the main event.

“I had a rough weekend last week,” admitted Metcalfe. “I went down and didn’t have a good result. So I was really determined to put in a good result at Anaheim. I was feeling good on the track, but I was a little bit ‘off’ all day, so that was kind of a bummer.

“Going into the heat race, I felt good and things were looking up, but I wheelied off the gate and got a bad start and ended up finishing eighth. In the Main, I got another bad start and was never able to get it going.

“But now, I’m looking forward to getting back into it this week and working hard and coming out for San Diego and trying to get things back on track.”

Team Yoshimura Suzuki Racing’s next event is the sixth round of the series this Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California.
